Stephanie Kinser
Ministry Assistant
Stephanie@firstpresvialia.org

Stephanie was born in Nevada, spent her childhood in Idaho and moved with her family to Visalia for the “important” years of her life.

She’s been married to Chris Kinser and they have two amazing little boys, Daylen and Nathanael. After Chris and Stephanie were married, they moved to Costa Mesa, CA, where she worked as Office Manager & Marketing Assistant to the Branch Manager in the Underwriting Division of AIG Orange County. They soon moved back to Visalia and bought their first home. Stephanie started working for Visalia First Assembly as the Youth Ministry Assistant. Though she loved it, God had other plans. While in transition she was taking the Summer Backyard Bible Study at Bennetts Ranch. Her need to find a job soon became the subject of her small group’s prayer. In that same week, she applied, interviewed and was hired by First Pres! After sharing this exciting news with her small group she was surprised to learn that her small group leaders were members at First Pres and they had praying for the Lord to send a suitable applicant!

The things that Stephanie enjoys the most are: soccer, snowboarding, camping, day hikes with Chris, backpacking, laughing with her sister, getting a summer tan & hanging out by the pool, watching Daylen ride his motorcycle, making Nathanael smile, getting beat at Monopoly by their 3-year-old, watching Chris catch a wave, being involved in their "R-Group” at Grace Community, snuggling up on the couch with Daylen and his favorite book, and seeing Chris be a Dad.
